I agree. There is NO reason you need a restoration shop to build your engine. You need a reliable engine builder. Make sure the shop knows that you want a stock engine rebuild and any internal changes you might want ( reduced compression for todays gas, high performance cam, roller rocker etc.). You can do your own research and detail the engine once it is done. All the restoration shops that I know of send out the engine rebuild to a professional. They have neither the tools nor the skill to do the job correctly. A good shop may even be able to run up your engine and break it in. Send it out yourself and save the money.
